BBC ON THIS DAY | 11 | 1971: Britain's oldest tabloid closes 1971: Britain's oldest tabloid closes The Daily Sketch newspaper which was founded in 1909 has been published for the last time. Enclosed in today's souvenir issue was a copy of its sister paper the Daily Mail to which owners Harmsworth Publications hope former Sketch readers will now switch. However, production of the last copies of the Sketch was held up by an industrial dispute over manning of the printing presses. At its peak the Daily Sketch achieved a circulation of 1.3 million copies a day but in recent years readership of the paper has been in decline. The Sketch's fate was sealed two months ago when Harmsworth Publications announced plans to shut down the paper, although the exact date was a closely-guarded secret until recently. The closure has resulted in more than 800 people being made redundant - they are among 1,700 being laid off by Associated Newspapers, Harmsworth's parent company. But the former editor of the Sketch, David English, remains with the company. He was appointed editor of the Daily Mail after the Sketch's closure was announced.

Associated Newspapers is now pinning its hopes on the revamped Daily Mail capturing the Sketch's market. Earlier this month the Mail was transformed from a broadsheet into a tabloid and has taken on many of the Sketch's features such as the Peanuts cartoon strip. The new Mail's success is even more crucial for Harmworth's survival given that it also publishes the loss-making Evening News. The Mail's main competitor for the Sketch's readers is widely regarded to be the Daily Express. The Express' new editor, Ian McColl, is expected to take the paper further to the right and thus encroach on ground traditionally occupied by the Mail. The latest developments are another twist in the on-going battle of the tabloids which began when Rupert Murdoch took over the Sun two years ago.

A Brief History of the Daily Mail The Daily Mail is part of Associated Newspapers, which is a subsidiary of the Daily Mail and General Trust, owned by Jonathan Harmsworth (4th Viscount Rothermere). It is printed from Monday to Saturday and has an average daily circulation of 2,139,178 copies; making it the second biggest selling newspaper in the UK. The popular paper takes a centre-right political stance and is considered to be the voice of ‘Middle-England‘.

It strongly defends conservative or traditional values and regularly speaks-out against liberal views. Although now printed in tabloid format, the Daily Mail continues to position itself in the middle market between the tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. The Daily Mail was founded by Alfred Harmsworth and his brother Harold Harmsworth, who would later become Lord Northcliffe and Lord Rothermere respectively. The first edition of the newspaper was printed in broadsheet format on 4th May 1896. When Lord Northcliffe died in 1922, Lord Rothermere took full control of the paper and it would subsequently pass down through the generations of his family. His son Esmond Harmsworth (2nd Viscount Rothermere) was appointed Chairman of Associated Newspapers in 1932 and Esmond was then succeeded by his son Vere Harmsworth (3rd Viscount Rothermere) in 1971. Following the death of Vere Harmsworth in 1998, his son Jonathan Harmsworth (4th Viscount Rothermere) became Chairman of both Associated Newspapers and its parent company, The Daily Mail and General Trust. The Daily Mail has therefore remained within the Harmsworth family since its foundation.

The newspaper has enjoyed immense success since its very first edition and it rose in popularity when cleverly captioned ‘A Penny Newspaper for One Halfpenny,‘ at a time when all other London daily newspapers cost one penny. The Daily Mail has been widely credited with pioneering popular journalism and it adopted an imperialist-patriotic stance during the Boer War. Circulation reached 545,000 copies by 1899 and in 1902, the Daily Mail became the first UK newspaper to achieve sales of over one million. It was the biggest selling newspaper in the world at that time. The Daily Mail began to print headlines and news stories on the front page from 4th September 1939, which coincided with the outbreak of the Second World War. The front cover had previously been dedicated to advertisements, as advertising revenue helped towards the cost of producing the paper. In 1960, Associated Newspapers purchased Daily News Limited, publishers of the News Chronicle, from the Cadbury family. The News Chronicle was subsequently merged with the Daily Mail on 18th October 1960.

The Daily Mail was re-launched in tabloid format on 3rd May 1971, to mark the 75th anniversary of the newspaper. The paper subsequently merged with its sister-tabloid, the Daily Sketch, on 11th May 1971. The Daily Mail Supplements The Daily Mail has always paid considerable attention to sport - especially golf - and human interest stories. It published serials to encourage readers to purchase the next instalment and was the first daily newspaper to carry a separate feature for women. The “Weekend” colour magazine was launched on 16th October 1993 and remains the Daily Mail’s leading supplement. It is published weekly in the Saturday edition of the newspaper and contains interviews, television listings and regular features on gardening, cookery and shopping. “Travelmail” also accompanies Saturday’s edition of the paper. A separate newspaper supplement is printed alongside the Daily Mail on each weekday, covering a variety of themes. “Lifestyle” is published on Mondays, “Good Health” on Tuesdays, “Money Mail” on Wednesdays, “Femail” on Thursdays, and the “It’s Friday!” entertainment guide is produced on Fridays.

The Daily Sketch was also the first newspaper to publish pictures of the Battle of the Falklands . After the First World War the Daily Sketch was purchased by Sir William Berry (later Viscount Camrose) and his company Allied Newspapers.

Sales remained low and in 1971 it was merged with the more popular Daily Mail .

Daily Sketch : definition of Daily Sketch and synonyms of Daily Sketch (English) Populist , centre-right , Conservative Party It was bought in 1920 by Lord Rothermere 's Daily Mirror Newspapers but in 1925 Rothermere offloaded it to William and Gomer Berry (later Viscount Camrose and Viscount Kemsley ). It was owned by a subsidiary of the Berrys' Allied Newspapers from 1928 [1] (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1937 when Camrose withdrew to concentrate his efforts on the Daily Telegraph ). In 1946 it was merged with the Daily Graphic. [1] In 1952 Kemsley decided to sell the paper to Associated Newspapers, the owner of the Daily Mail , who promptly revived the Daily Sketch name in 1953. The paper struggled through the 1950s and 1960s, never managing to compete successfully with the Daily Mirror , and in 1971 it was closed and merged with the Daily Mail. The Sketch was Conservative in its politics and populist in its tone during its existence through all its changes of ownership.

In some ways much of the more populist element of today's Daily Mail was inherited from the Sketch: before the merger, the more serious Mail, then and for a long time afterwards a broadsheet , was also right-wing . The Sketch notably launched a moral panic over Daniel Farson 's 1960 television documentary Living for Kicks, a portrait of British teenage life at the time, which led to a war of words between the Sketch and the Daily Mirror. It also participated in the press campaign against the screening of the BBC film The War Game .
